Day trips on Tyneside

Just a few minutes from the city, you can enjoy sand, sea and maybe even a little sun on some of Britain’s finest Blue Flag beaches. The stunning North East coastline has wonderful surf and some fabulous coastal walks.

Other out-of-town attractions include the 13th-century Tynemouth Priory and Castle. South of the river is the Arbeia Roman Fort and Museum in South Shields and Bede’s World in Jarrow – a trip back in time to the age of saints and kings.

For a little natural tranquillity, try the Birkheads Secret Garden and Nursery in Sunniside, the huge Gibside forest garden and landscape park, or the WWT Washington Wetland Centre. All three locations are about 20 minutes’ drive south of the city centre.
